IU Libraries and IU Data to Insight Center Receive funding from Alfred P. Sloan Foundation

04/06/2012

The IU Libraries and the IU Data to Insight Center are recipients of funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to fund a CLIR/DLF Data Curation Postdoctoral Fellowship. The Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) has received a $679,827 grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to help launch a new CLIR/DLF Data Curation Fellowship Program. The program, an expansion of CLIR’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in Academic Libraries, will provide recent Ph.Ds with professional development, education, and training opportunities in data curation for the natural and social sciences. The IU Libraries and the IU Data to Insight Center, a part of the IU Pervasive Technology Institute, will be part of the program's first cohort and as such we are currently recruiting for this fellowship. Information about the program and position descriptions are available at http://www.clir.org/fellowships/datacuration. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until all positions are filled, but no later than June 30, 2012.
